This point and click adventure takes a fantasy setting, in which you play a Wizard deemed to be good taking on a less good one. To fulfill the prophecy you have been given in a limited time of 3 days, he must go on 3 quests, solving various puzzles along the way to be rewarded 3 grains of sand, that he must place in a hourglass to kill an evil wizard. Objects around the levels are always detected by the cursor, making each screen and the challenges within quick to comprehend. Generally you have to solve each puzzle in sequence.

Like the company's Gobliins Series, the interface is simplified to allow for fast progress, and ensure that the biggest challenge is solving the puzzles, not working out which object-verb combination the programmers had in mind, amidst a wall of I dont understand type messages. The game experiments with the toning of the graphics, using a faux-sepia style outside and some bright colours inside, which changes the atmosphere somewhat.
